This game is an upcoming fighting game developed and published by SNK. It is the first new entry in the Fatal Fury series in 26 years, but this is no reboot, this is a long-awaited continuation of the story left off over a quarter of a century ago in Garou: Mark of the Wolves.
Gameplay in City of the Wolves is similar to that of its predecessor, with combat taking place on a two-dimensional movement plane. It is a throwback in this sense to classic fighting games of the 90’s. It features plenty of fan favourite characters with some modern additions, including Capcoms Chun-Li and Ken Masters and even football star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The game will release on Playstation, Xbox and PC at £49.99.
